Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / October 2004internal dual layer burners for mac
anyone have ideas of models that can fit into a mac? > anyone have ideas of models that can fit into a mac? Which Mac? :) The best DVD burners are made by Pioneer, the DVR-108D is excellent value.  Signature"Bill Gates is just a monocle and a Persian Cat away from being one of the bad guys in a James Bond movie." -- Dennis Miller Best buy for what its worth for your budget is Pioneer 108, You can buy one from MSY www.msy.com.au for $128, they¹ll work in Macintosh and PCs. With Pioneer DVD drives, Apple supports them as they use them in their G4s and G5s Never had problems with Pioneer 108 in my G4 Gigabit machine.

Grab the Pioneer 108 or A08. They don¹t work with iMovie, iDVD, iTunes etc etc yet though. You can download PatchBurn off versiontracker to fix that problem, haven¹t tried it on my 108 drive so not sure how well it works. Anyone know where to get dual layer DVD-R discs in Aus?

I haven't seen them anywhere so far. IMHO, unless you need to make a DVD-9, the regular 4x DVD-Rs are much better value.

Dual layer discs you can buy from places like JB HI FI The only thing is they are about $12 each Cheers. Are these DVD+R or DVD-R though?

I have an external 108 in a firewire case, if you use the dvdbackup/toast(latest version) combination you will get perfect dvds that work in most players (all mine anyway) :), the only drawback is the cost of the DL blanks. But this will come down. There is little reason to mount the drive internally at the moment, owing to the lack of OS support so far, but with the software I use it works the same in or outside the mac. ( I have a single layer in my mac) Cheers Andrew On 25/10/04 9:11 PM, in article BDA31C9B.18049%3662@optusnet.com.au, "3662" > On 25/10/04 11:39 AM, in article BDA29678.6949%goaway@nospam.com, "Ribfeast" > <goaway@nospam.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Cheers.

What's your views on this please. My friend has a E-Mac G4 just in case you were wondering.

My friend has a E-Mac G4 just in case > you were wondering. I have a dual layer DVD+ or - burner, but I don't have software on the iMac to run it. Using the Nero software that came with it on the laptop PC, I burned a DVD+ dual layer DVD that was about 8 megs. It seems to play OK on the PC, but the only problem is that on the DVD player, it gags at a certain point and won't go on. This is pretty unsatisfactory, as is the fact that the only DVD blanks available (DVD+Rs) are over $12 a throw. Makes no sense when you can get good standard ones - DVD-R - for a dollar a pop if you know where and want no frills. It just means I have to use 2 DVD-R blanks instead of one - but I would on occasions like to ave it all on one disc. Rifty SignatureAcademic and Computing Help http://rifty.net |
